Because regardless of the flavor of democracy, you Trumpist want to throw it all in the garbage purely on the lies and, for the sake of, your cult leader and to preserve the lower levels of the leadership .

It should be the charter for the new agency, I suggested.

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
Get a clue! We are (obviously) the ones who are attempting to defend the political system as designed by the USA founding fathers. You radicals are the ones trying to remake it in the image of Cuba, Venezueala and the USSR. That kind of makes you bozos the "insurrectionists" here...

No, you're just trying to recreate the conditions in all of those countries before they had revolutions. You want juntas and cult of personality govt propped up by foreign intervention and manipulation.
You proved you had turned your backs on democracy on Nov 3rd, and since then you have done all you can to validate that truth.

Hello! We aren't the ones claiming we need to "fundamentally transform" America:
obama quote fundamentally transform - Bing
You lose (again).

President
Yes, a quote from 13 yrs ago.
Then his supporters formed a mob and tried to seize control of the govt to make his words a reality ?
Because that happened just 6 months ago, and it had nothing to do with Obama.
At least on the surface, at that moment you could say that non tangentially.
Put those word right into action.
Had your Trump mob succeeded, we most certainly would have been fundamentally transformed.

The first time since the civil war that one party held up a nomination purely for political reasons....Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a democratic majority.
In fact McConnell said no appointee from Obama would be considered.
Figures you'd think preventing unreasonable rules being imposed on voters around the country is an attempt to take over the right to vote....You'd have made the same claim when the democrats passed the 1964 civil rights act or subsequent legislation to prevent poll taxes or poll tests.

The Right is always right
Says the people who 6 months ago declared the filibuster as necessary for democracy and used it repeatedly but who now say it's anti-democacy.
Deranged, no?

Ever heard of Robert Bork? Did you see what Dems tried with Kavanaugh? Your lies are horrendous. The sign of true evil.
There is a huge difference between "holding up the nomination" and denying it in a vote.
On October 23, 1987, the Senate denied Bork's confirmation, with 42 Senators voting in favor and 58 voting against. Two Democratic senators, David Boren (D-OK) and Ernest Hollings (D-SC), voted in his favor, while six Republican senators – John Chafee (R-RI), Bob Packwood (R-OR), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Robert Stafford (R-VT), John Warner (R-VA), and Lowell P. Weicker Jr. (R-CT) – voted against Bork.[40] His defeat in the Senate was the worst against any Supreme Court nominee since George Washington Woodward was defeated 20—29 in 1845, and the third-worst on record.

The only thing unreasonable is allowing the cheating that democrats do to win. Allowing illegals to vote is not reasonable. Claiming black people aren't smart enough to obtain ID os not reasonable in todays day and age.
What is unreasonable is for you to continue to make this shit up in the hopes of persuading anyone that you know WTF you are talking about.
Why is it a reasonable rule to say people standing in line to vote for hours cannot be given water? Why is it reasonable to tell people they can't vote on Sunday before 1pm?
The fillibuster isn't about cheating.
Nobody is talking about that legislation letting illegal immigrants to vote.
Nobody claims anyone is not smart enough to get photo ID.
Why do you bother?

They should bring their own water. States control the voting hours. Filibuster has nothing to do with voting rights, HR1 had the provision to allow illegals to vote, liberals claim voting laws suppress black voters. Why do you spin like a top trying to convince people that liberal lunacy is acceptable?
Sen Mitch McConnell/Republicans changed the filibuster rule in 2017 dropping the 60 vote threshold to 51 for SCOTUS nominees.
Democrats should modify the filibuster while they have the majority in order to get laws passed that will benefit average Americans.

Why lie? There was nothing in HR1 to allow non-citizens the right to vote in federal elections.

The rule about no voting on Sunday mornings is aimed at the efforts at black churches to bring church goers to the polls.
"they should bring their own water"....WTF. What does handing water to a person in line mean to prevent free and fair elections? It is typically poor areas that have long lines at the polls. Just like restricting mail in ballots is meant to make it harder for people who cannot take time off to vote or those who rely on public transportation.

Laws are in place. Why do you lie? Restricting mail in ballots to those who request them is not making it harder at all. So only Blacks go to church on Sunday mornings? Waiting in line is a fact of life. Get used to it.
The Pews to the Polls effort was unique to black churches.
The fact that there are fewer machines in some areas (typically black) in Georgia or Texas says...if you're black, get used to a 3 hour wait to vote.
Providing water to people in line does not create an election issue.
Do you have any evidence that people received absentee ballots without asking for them? Actually Colorado has done that for years. Every registered and active voter gets absentee ballots. There is no in person voting here. Works very well. The fact is that every battleground state Trump lost required that people request a mail in ballot. None mailed ballots without a request.
